Points up (?)

Any letters placed?

[normag2008]

Thank you lions king. Never would have got that.

[elliemay1]

drives in??

[Lie-in King]

If it's right, glad I could help :-)

[sedge47]

forces in ?

[elliemay1]

I thought that it would end with 'in' for 'home'

[Mamyalynne]

Points up looks good.

Prefer drives (presses) in(at home)

[elliemay1]

Have you any existing letters to see which answer best fits?

[elliemay1]

^ to 'drive in' means to emphasise

[elliemay1]

press home - make clear by special emphasis and try to convince somebody of something; "drive home a point or an argument"; "I'm trying to drive home these basic ideas"

[dannyk13]

I agree with you Ellie. Cant see how points parses at all.

[elliemay1]

Thank you danny!

[Mamyalynne]

Chambers agrees with my earlier reference.

Point up - Emphasise.


Hopefully normag will confirm as a 'thanks' ensued.

[dannyk13]

Lynne I am not questioning the meaning, I fail to see how it parses.

[elliemay1]

I can't parse that either, mamyalynne

[Lie-in King]

Surely this isn't a cryptic puzzle? That's how I read it, then tried an answer.

[Mamyalynne]

It's a straight clue - the two phrases mean the same.

[dannyk13]

I just assumed that it was cryptic.

[elliemay1]

I also thought it was a cryptic clue as most of qns asked on here are of that nature
